"A white Christmas would be beautiful," Rumi said dreamily as her gaze was fixed on the passing palm threes through the car window. Rumi found herself missing Washington lately. She was so used to spending her holidays with River and Leila and having at least a little bit of snow. They had talked more often lately but Rumi still had a sense of longing to be with her friends. Not to say she didn't love the people she had grown close to in Cali; Leila and River knew her better than anyone and she lived a totally different life there.
"White Christmas?" Melo asked in confusion as he drove them towards his house, glancing down at their entwined hands making his heart flutter. Rumi's nails were Christmas red and her fingers were covered in different silver rings. She looked beautiful, in her satin red blouse and tight black pants. She wore heels for once, red to match her clothing. Melo wore the usual nice dress shirt, black pants, and his red bottoms. He licked his lips as he noted how sexy Rumi looked.

The two of them were on the way to the Ball estate for Lavar and Tina's big Christmas Eve party. They hadn't had it since Melo's freshman year because of his mom's situation, but Tina was getting better every day and his mom made it clear she wanted to have it this year.
"A snowy Christmas!" Rumi explained excitedly as she waved her free hand around, "Maybe next year we can go somewhere it'll be snowing."
Melo smiled at her happiness, "I'll take you anywhere baby girl."
"Hopefully my art can do that too," Rumi cheesed. She had met her goal of 10k for this year, and it honestly blew her mind. Her large canvas paintings usually went for $500 and so many people had commissioned for them making her pockets fat. She felt elated because of how well things had been going this month, for her, Melo, and everyone around her it seemed.
"Oh, it will."
Rumi leaned over the console to peck his cheek, "Thank you, baby."
Melo's cologne wafted off of him making Rumi stick her head in his neck and inhale deeply. He chuckled at how it tickled, scrunching up and moving away from her as he laughed, "You so weirddd bro."
She giggled and pulled away, "You be smelling my hair!"
"Cap," Melo mumbled as his neck flushed red making Rumi laugh. He did it all the time when he thought she was asleep because her hair always smelled so good. Rumi hummed as her eyes twinkled, "I like it. It's cute."
"Mhmm, we here," Melo informed with a chuckle making Rumi turn towards the window. Melo hopped out when they parked and jogged over to her door to open it, making her peck him on the lips as she climbed out of the Lambo. She stared up at the mansion and wondered how her life went from living in a tiny house in Washington to climbing out of a fucking foreign to a view like this. She ran her fingers through her freshly straightened hair and let Melo lead her inside.
